THE ILLINOIS JURY LAW.

Although the present jury law of
Illinois has held water all through the
terrible judicial strain it has been sub
jected to there are so many obnoxious
provisions in it that the people of that
state have for some time been clamoring
for change i'll the jury system. The last
legislature passed new jury law SUBJ
ject TO ratification by the voters which,
IN all probability, will be adopted. In
addition to being an unnecessarily eX-
pensiye system, the existing jury law
makes class juries possible by
giving the clerk the power to
make out the jury lists. 1t
also encourages the professional
juror to hang around the court house and
pick up his living by serving on juries.
The new law does away with all these
possibilities, and if adopted will secure
honest and capable juries. With the
experience that the state has recently
had in having the old law so vigorously
questioned in the courts, it seems that
the people of Illinois viii be fully pre-
pared to vote for the new law.

FAILED TO CATCH ON.

A report from the West says that
Billings, Mont, is full of Indians. If
the citizens of Billings were half as
enterprising as those of other Western
towns, while the Indians are floating
around there, they would take census
and by actual figures prove to the out
side world that Billings is the most rap
idly growing town in the West. They
could easily prove that the population
had trebled during the past week and
this statement would bring the tender
foot who has few loose shekels for in
= vestment in his inside pocket, west on
the limited express. Give Fargo, Da k,
the opportunity Billings has now and
she would make the welkin ring with
her own praises.

Customs Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The annual
report of the commissioner of customs
submitted to the secretary of the treas
ury to-day, shows that during the past
fiscal year accounts were examined in
his office involving S216,619,391 in re-
ceipts and s23,796,7 1852 in disbursements.
The commissioner says that there seems
to be trouble at the port of New York in
procuring the cancellation of export
bonds, owing mainly to the Indifference
of exporters and sureties. This state Of
affairs, he says is doubtless due to the
fact that no suits are brought on these
bonds, and also because of belief that
there can be no recovery on such bonds
unless special damage be shown. He
recommends that trial suit be instiJu
ted to establish the validity of the Law
relating to the cancellation of expor
bonds, and suggests that in case the
present law cannot be enforced, il
might be we'll to consider whether a
statute of limitations, as to such bonds,
might be passed requiring at the expira
ton, say of three years from the date of
bond, that the cancellation of it should
be made by the collector of customs in
the absence of any evidence of special
damage to the government.

infected Shins

New YORK, Nov. 3.-President Bay
les, of the board of health, wrote to-day
in relation to the cholera ships to Mayor
Hewitt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
requesting the national government to
send the vessels back. He says
that so far as the vessels now in port
are concerned there seems to be no
occasion for an appeal by the mayor to
the federal government to order their
removal. The Alesia has already sailed
and the Britannia is at present
ease. SIN the case of the
Burgandia which l understand is near
ing this port with full cargo and
passenger list from infected Mediter-
ranean ports, it is probably too late for
any effective action whether or not
cholera may be found on board"
| would respectfully urge the desirability
of discouraging such immigration, and the
board of health would cordially second any
effort you may be pleased to make to that
end. IL the federal government can in any
interfere to check immigration from ports in
fected with contagious diseases it should be
asked to do so.
In the latter case Mr.. Bayles says it
would be an act of inhumanity to COM
pei the return of her passengers, as they
might die on the return trip, and the
horrors of such voyage can be imag-
med but scarcely described. President
Bayles adds:
Health Officer William M. Smith
gives the following summary of facts in
regard to cholera among the passengers
of the steamships Alesia and Britannia:
''The Alesia had six deaths from cholera
on the voyage, four passengers and two of
the crew. There have been in all among the
Alesia's passengers thirty-fve cases of chol-
era, nineteen of which proved fatal There
have been two deaths from other causes. On
the Britannia there have been only

HARD on NEW WORKERS..

The malarial influences of the climate
at Washington have damaging effect
on the average New York statesman.
This is particularly true of those who
are called upon toperfOrm cabinet duty.
a history of the different administra-
tons reveals the fact that New York
has had more representatives in the diff
ferent presidential cabinets than any
other state, and yet but few of them
served out full term. Mr.. MANNING
was supposed to be as robust son as
the Empire state had when he entered
Mr.. CLEvELAND'S cabinet, and yet in
less than two years he was a physical
wreck. Mr.. WHITNEY was not so ro-
bustly built as MANNING, but
there wasn't a chirper little fel-
low in all Gotham than WHIT
NEY when he went to
Washington to take charge of the cab
met portfolio. And now comes the
news that he is all petered out and
can't command physical strength to
write his department report for the cur
rent year. The result is that public
rumor has retired MIR. WHITNEY from
the cabinet in order to give Washington
malaria another chance at shining
mark. As was to be expected, the Cos
sips have gone to work to prove that
malaria has had nothing to do with
either MANNING'S retirement or WHIT
NEY'S disabled condition. Their wag-
ging tongues are repeating the story
that Mr. CLEVELAND discovered that
both MANNING and WHITNEY had bees
in their bOnnets, and that it was that
made the Washington climate unhealthy
for them. AS proof of it they refer to
GARLAND and LAMAR and BAY
ARD as healthy illustrations of
the bracing effect of Washington atmos-
phere. All three of these gentlemen
went into the cabinet at the same time
with MANNING and WHITNEY, and
three lustier specimens of physical MAN.

tional capitol. These gossips seem to
forget that LAMAR and GARLAND come
from the lower Mississippi regions
where people are raised on malaria,

The Navy's Finances.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Fourth Audi
ter Shelley in his annual report to the
secretary of the treasury shows the
financial operations of the United
States navy during the fiscal year ended
June 0,1SS7, as follows: Amount ap-
propriated, $3S, 1SS, $50; drawn out by
warrant, SIS, 1872 1856; balance on hand,
S22, 500, 1928; expended as shown by
vouchers, S14,694, POI; amount overpaid,
S2S,301; carried to the surplus fund,
S416,037. During the year S1,124, 1875
was paid out on account of 6,19S navy
pensioners. The auditor objects to the
system by which disbursing officers are
allowed to pay out large sums on con-
tracts before the bills have been
audited, aud suggests that steps be
taken to have all demands for payments
under contracts in the navy presented
to his Office for settlement, and that pay
ments by disburSing officers be re-
stricted to necessary current expenses,
such as pay of officers and men, supplies
needed for immediate use, expenditures
on ship board and purchases in foreign
ports.

DON'T MOCK THEM.


Some of the Chicago papers exhibit
an unnecessary bitterness in discussing
the doom of the anarchists. There is
no necessity now for calling the con-
demned men hard names. They have
been guilty of grievous crime, but they
are going to pay the penalty with their
lives. Let them be hung without any
creatures. 1t looks mean to jump on a
man when he is down and blackguard
him. Some of the condemned men are
more the victims of miseducation than
of really devilish dispositions. They
learned anarchism in school of op-
preston under foreign tyranny. In one
sense the same school that made heroes
of TELL and SoBIEsKI makes anarch-
lists and nihiliStS and dynami
tiers to-day. The difference is that
TELL and SOBIEsKI learned their lessons
Alright while these poor devils learned
theirs wrong. The fact that they have
been miSeducated is no vindicatiOn of
their crime, nor can it be plead in eX
tenuatiOn of their follies. At the same
time, if they were the most brutal of
murderers, there is no excuse for influ-
entail journals like the Chicago newspa-
pers to follow them to the foot of the
gallows, hurting epithetS at them. A
week from to-day these seven miserable
specimens of humanity will be hung by
the neck until they are dead, and the
majesty OF the law will be indicated.
In the name of our civilization and in
the name of all that is decent and hui
name we implore the Chicago press to
let them have the time from now until
their execution to themselves and not
be standing outside of their prison doors
and making mouths at the poor wretches
and calling them ugly names. 1t is
cOwardly way to do.

audible audit ~, voice; that he would ask tn the
county Jail until the time of execution.
The court said he would grant his re-
quest so far as he could in accordance
with the law. He then pronounced
sentence that he should be taken to the
county Jail and be there confined until
Friday, the I'd day of December, 1887,
when he should be taken thence to the
Ohio state penitentiary at Columbus
and there remain until the 10th day of
March, 1883, when he should be hung
by the neck until he was dead. He
bore the ordeal with wonderful fOrti-
tude and seemed perfectly resigned to
his fate.
